That's a good question. I myself am using ms fonts and
some downloaded fonts on my gnome desktop.

Interpreting the license from ms, if you multi boot
a pc, windows/linux, you could use the ms fonts.

But you can't simply copy the ms fonts to a pc
with a linux os only, there must be a windows
os (spare partitions perhaps.)installed in that
computer. Of course, licensed win os.

It's weird, but that's their license. So we
have to deal with it.
